Girlfriends

Girlfriends are a rare gem. When they’re good, there’s nothing like them. They are a healing force. I have a great set of friends now and I see them all as gifts – precious gifts. They are my sanity keepers. They keep me centered and balanced. Who else will listen to my inane rumblings? Who else will put up with my eccentricities and mood swings? Three* of them left the country a few months ago. I’m feeling a twinge of sadness. The coven is temporarily incomplete.

One of the things I truly look forward to in life is growing old with all these wonderful women. For every milestone and crisis in my life, there is a memory of a girlfriend laughing or crying along. What comfort we are to each other.

Women are so great at so many things, but too little is said about how fabulous we are at being friends. It is one of the things I love about being a woman. We all have our moments of doubts about how good we are as mothers, career women, wives and lovers but as friends, we can confidently raise the flag. Every woman should celebrate the fact that as a girlfriend, she is simply priceless. KAMPAY!!

*Gene, I miss you. Bong-Bong just came home!!!! And Flor, wherever you are in Asia,<span miss you much.
